The Bethlehem Prize.

The Bethlehem Iron company has scored
a great achievement in securing the con-
tract for the gun steel and armor plate re-
quired by the government. 1t may not be
presently very profitable contract but it
is one which gives pre-eminence to the
Bethlehem company Of which it would be
very proud. This national contract will
enable it to prepare itself for manufacture
which must soon be of great importance in
this country and will put it first in the field
in competition for it. In truth it has al.
ready made preparation for this work in
anticipation of the government need,
which it now meets, and thus
had AN advantage in the CON-
petition which gave it the contract.
1t had definitely determined to go into this
class of manufacture, and has for some
time been getting ready for it. The com.
pany, under the inspiration Of John Fritz,
its superintendent, has always inclined to
seek fresh avenues Of development
of the iron industry and has looked with as
much interest upon the scientific results a;
upon the pecuniary outcome OF its ven
lures. 1t is a matter Of great qualification
to the country that an establishment ha
been found with the enterprise AM
| patriotic zeal needed for the undertaking
| to supply the nation with the armor plat
for its vessels and the steel forgings for it
| guns.

naither Schoolcraft nor Nicollet give this
lake place on their maps, or any descrip-
tion but they do give It location, though
not % prominent or large . place - Gla-
sier does. OF the government survey he
simply says that Il erroneously repre-
sents one Of the feeders Of Lake Glazier as
emptying into Itasca. What has that to
do with the case? The lake he claimed to
have discovered is down In black and white
on the map Of . government survey made
long before, and its connection with ltasca
Is correctly shown.
Mr.. Pearce Giles was one Of Glaziers
| companions on this daring exploration
and together with the captains brother
and several Indians, christened the lake S
the true source. That dignity may
belong to it, as 1t is ninety.two ieet
higher above the sea than ltasca, out
in Justice the name Of Glazier should
have nothing whatever to do with 1t. The
Judgment Of the men who believed 1t
too insignificant to be considered the source
should stand, and 1tasca remains In the
popular estimation the worthy source o1
the Mississippi.

The Source OF the MlsslsslpDl.

Gr. Pearce Giles comes to the defense of
the sadly battered Captain Willard Gla.
xier In q pamphlet bearing the title "The
True Source of the Mississippi" It is a
lame defense, and If the defenders Of the
captain have in this book put their best
foot forward, they had better at once sur.
render and leave the bold Glazier to the
place be will occupy In history as one Of
thD most successful imp0stors that ever
AoodWinked Q geographical society. Al
thenam Of Amerigo Vespucci sticks to the
new world which he did not discover, &c
ths name Of Glazier will probably be fixed
forever to the little lake above Itasca
which the other explorers surveyed and
goaosd on their maps, but Of which Glaziel
aao0s With sublime audscity claimed the
discovery.
This defense Is based first on the claim

SpEAKING OF the defeat OF the bill appro-
priating 500 900 to carry on the manufacture
OF mats at the Riverside penitentiary, ALE.
gheny, . member OF the prison board as-
serted that an English firm, who imported
mats made in English prisons, were largely
responsible for the defeat OF the measure. 1t
may be that there Ii some truth In this, - the
hostility TO prison labor that the Knights oil
Labor have manifested might easily be
played upon by designing men, and 1t VA
without doubt the opposition OF the KnightA
that defeated the appropriation. As result
1t Ia predicted that 10 per cent OF all the
Prisoners will become inssne within Q yes =,
II they are not given work OF some kind.
1t is evident that We must give prisone n
work, and 1t is hard to see why the same
rules should not apply to prison LABOR ~ Il
all other labor, since the wages of 1t do nc,
90 to the criminals but ultimately to the
government which ia the people. The men
who contract for prison labor may mako large
profits, but there 10, or should be, compsti
ton for these, a for all other contracts, and
the only d ifierence appears to lie In the fec
that the lsborer has, in this case, forfeited tl
the state the wages OF his labor, which may
be used to meet the expense OF keeping hin
in prison.
The working OF criminals In chain gang
has been abandoned as barbarous and the
only work that appears to be open to them II
OF the kind that the Knights OF Lab0rs have
opposed. They must have work or they will
90 mad, and surely an industrious criminal
10 of more value to the state than IN idle mad
man. As long a. We have prisons we must
have prison labor, and - II is wrong TO waste
anything, 1t should be made - efficient q
possible.

In the supplement to the INTELLloEN:
GER to-day is presented an advance peep AZ
the programme Of the great centennial Gel.
ebration that is to be commemorated at
Franklin and Marshall college in the com.
ing June.
1t is an event in which every citizen OF
this town should have an intense interest.
Every Lancastrian Is proud Of the repute
enjoyed by this local institution Of learning
and its presence in our midst is the cause Of
ever widening waves Of culture. 1t Is be.
lieved that the centennial celebration this
year will give an impetus to the develop
ment of this worthy college; and whatever
adds to its prosperity contributes to the
welfare of the city of which it is . part.
Everyone, therefore, should do all in his
power to make the coming centennial mem.
orable in the life OF the college and in the
history of this city.

will They Heed Us?

We do not know what advantage the
friends Of the Irish cause in this country
expect to flow from the meetings organized
here to protest against the coercion bill
proposed by the present English ministry.
II is not to be expected, that any influence
viii be exerted upon the sentiment of the
English Parliament by the sentiment OF
public meetings in this country, unless
such influence be unfavorable to the cause
advocated. We know very well that upon
any domestic political question on which
there might be difference of opinion be-
tween parties in this country, it would
not aid the cause Of either party that it
should be sustained by public meetings in
England. We would feel that it was not
the right Of English people to under.
take to discate what our policy should be-,
and certainly no votes would be won in
Congress by the expression of British senti.
msnts. We take it for granted that the
friends of Ireland here do not expect to
convert any votes in the English Parlia-
ment or any favor among the English
people by their public meetings here to
protest against coercion.
They are doubtless content with the ef
fects they will produce in this country
and with the substantial benefit they may
look for in arOusing the indignation of oul
citizens, who feel 30 warmly for Ireland a.
the country Of their ancestors nativity.
The Parnellite movement is sustained BY
the American contributions, and ths
knowledge of this does not make the Eng
lish people feel any more graciously

LANCASTER, APRIL 10. 1857.
A Hst Time IN the Commons.

There has been some more violent ora
tceical exercise In the British House
q Commons. An honorable gentle
nnn charged . large body Of his COL
lsagues with associating with criminals,
1ynamiters and murderers. One Of the
men % charged, Mr.. Healy, divulged the
startling news that the first speaker,
Major Saunderson, was q liar, and posi-
lively refused to contradict the intelli-
renee. Mr.. Redmond also announced that
Saunderson was liar and this corrobora-
tive testimony was swiftly followed by the
suspension of Mr.. Healy. Mr.. Saunder-
ron then proceeded to lie in detail with
the confidence of master of the art and
Mr.. Sexton shouted 81 cay you are will
ful, cowardly liar" and proclaimed his
intention Of thrashing Saunderson within
m inch Of his life. Under pressure from
s the speaker Major Saunderson then with
drew the words he had used and Mr.. Sex
ton withdrew his expression, but the
former stonce repeated his charge in an
other form. Mr.. Sexton then shouted
8" The honorable gentleman is again a
liar =" and the speaker again compelled
both Of them to withdraw their remarks,
6aunderson closed, charging the Parnel.
Ntes with connection with advocates OF
murder, and was cheered by the Con-
servatives.
This whole affair is of prime i'm.
portance as indicating the drift of events
In England, and the possible outcome of II
al. The savage character Of Mser Saun

Conceived and executed with the sole oh
ject of inhaming the anger of the Irishmel
and drawing sharp division line of bite
feeling between the supporters and oppo
nents of the government. 1t is an astut
political move to arouse partisan rance
and fix solidly in support of the govern
ment the majority that has bee
wavering before the obnoxious Crimes &C
and great many weak men who woul
have opposed that measure may allow th
anger aroused by this debate to smothe
conscience and reason and to preveI
them from voting with the men wit
whom they have exchanged the littl
words, liar, murderer and coward.
